The Ten Semi-finalists Have Been Chosen!

We have now picked the 10 mobile apps that are in the running for the AppMyCity! prize. Apps were picked from 93 candidates from across the world.

The 10 semi-finalists for the US$5,000 prize come from 10 countries and five continents. Together, their apps are active in more than 50 cities.

It was a tough decision, and we finally selected these 10 apps because they best fulfilled the AppMyCity! criteria: to improve the urban experience, connect people, and make cities more fun, fair, vibrant and sustainable places.

John Rossant, Founder and Chairman of the New Cities Foundation and AppMyCity! judge, said:

“This year’s lineup of AppMyCity! Contenders clearly demonstrates how mobile apps are enhancing many aspects of city life, whether it’s solving transport challenges, encouraging collaboration within communities, promoting creativity, or bringing citizens closer to authorities. I look forward to working together with my fellow judges over the next two weeks, to pick the three finalists who will join us at the New Cities Summit in Dallas and pitch their apps to our international audience.”
